Sooooo I bought a Daytona today

Finally pulled the trigger on the rose gold black dialled on OF today. Have to wait a fortnight to get it when we fly to fiji. Went the duty free route to save 15%. Cant wait.

Congrats! Which AD, did you have to wait long, if you don’t mind me asking? Fellow Kiwi here, also considering this model.

Congrats, be sure to post a wrist shot. it's good to hear that the Airport ADs will sell the watch. Every international airport I pass through only have "Exhibition" models.

It came from my local AD. But if I buy it duty free via the airport I save 15% GST, so why not .

Singapore airport AD regularly puts models out for sale same day they receive them. No lists, just first come first serve for outbound passengers with a ticket only.

And you have to fly to Fiji to pick it up? Brutal.
